I saw him in Leamington Spa around 13th March (I think).

A few technical problems meant we had a 10-15 minute delay but otherwise it was a good evening. Lot's of talking about bikes and watching some videos of Hans 'glory-days' in the 1990's.

He seems to have gotten himself in to some pretty 'corny' TV shows but also made himself some pretty cool celebrity friends - like Taylor Hawkins.

All done a good evening for the £20 ticket price.

Saw him on Leeds a few years ago. It was ace. Said there was even good trails in Florida.  First saw him in Tread. Fell in love.

Tread

Now that was a piece of mountain bike history along with Dirt.

We had a stand at the Malvern Classic a few years back, the one next to use was a couple and their teenage kid who was pretty handy on a trials bike. That year the security were very hot on stopping people riding in the arena (not so hot on stopping the bikes getting stolen), anyway one of the oafs had a go at the lad for to some trials tricks in the arena. Hans suddenly appear and said 'he's with me he can do what he wants'. Hans and the lad then messed around doing tricks, swapping bikes etc. It was brilliant to watch. Hans, in the best way possible, still had all the joy of youth despite being well in to his 50s. Me and my mate were in awe of Hans, our childhood hero, the lad was totally non plussed.
